Whirlwind tour of some of the Midwest photographing people, places, and things for a corporate citizenship report. January is not the best time for great weather, unless you like it cold, and wet. First Chicago, Milwaukee, Sturgis Michigan, then back to Chicago. As usual I spend more time running than anything else. That's where the challenge is getting there on time, getting the shot, leaving people with a positive experience, and of course staying on budget.

Next stop....(stop 6 and 7) Geneva, Farsoe and Copenhagen Denmark, Sao Paulo and Rio Brazil. All this in about 2 weeks. By the way the photo was the only sunny day while I was there, of course the day I was leaving.

In the course of 2 months I photographed doctors, children, teachers, scientists, engineers, mothers, fathers, community activists, business people, nurses, orphans, farmers, firemen, monks, and many people from all walks of life for a client in various locations around the world. The goal to get the essence of the people in how they live and work; I can't say I remember everyone I met, but I certainly feel that I shared some good moments with them. I make it a point to interact with everyone I photograph. I photographed in farms, factories, communes, schools, hospitals, schools, clinics, offices, temples, and everywhere in-between. Here is a small sampling of some of the people, and places.

Some spreads from my second self published photo book titled "Bolivia, Cambodia, Kosovo." It's about people I photographed in some far flung locales for a client last year. A great client and a great project. The best part was that it was just me and my camera, and I got to meet some really wonderful people. Photography made possible by Abbott Fund
The book is not available in stores if anyone is interested let me know and I can have more printed up. I don't know what the cost will be. It depends on how much interest there is. I did it mostly as a portfolio piece and did not plan to sell it.
